Cortez The Killer Lyrics

 He came dancing across the water
 With his galleons and guns
 Looking for the new world
 In that palace in the sun
 
 On the shore lay Montezuma
 With his coca leaves and pearls
 In his halls he often wandered
 With the secrets of the worlds.

 And his subjects gathered 'round him
 Like the leaves around a tree
 In their clothes of many colours
 For the angry gods to see.
 
 And the women all were beautiful
 And the men stood straight and strong
 They offered life in sacrifice
 So that others could go on.
 
 Hate was just a legend
 And war was never known
 The people worked together
 And they lifted many stones
 
 They carried them to the flatlands
 And they died along the way
 But they built up with their bare hands
 What we still can't do today.
 
 And I know she's living there
 And she loves me to this day
 I still can't rememebr when
 Or how I lost my way.
 
 He came dancing across the water
 Cortez, Cortez
 What a killer.
